Hi! will this bottom bracket fit a 30mm spindle Rotor Track crankset?

I had ordered these exact tires in 35mm. I plan to set them up WITH tubes. Would you be able to advise the max PSI for a tubed set up? I am not able to find this information on their Panaracer website.

Hi, I just received this seatpost and am having issues installing in my Merlin Ti frame. The instructions that came with the seatpost says not to twist while installing. I don't see how I can install the seatpost without twisting to install. Can anyone please give me any suggestions on how you were able to install? BTW, I enjoy your channels. Thanks!!!
@slayerofgrams14 күн бұрын
Twist away, my guess is that they write that because you can scratch the surface with excessive twisting while applying pressure.

I got one for my gravel bike this spring and the carbon cradle cracked just a month later 🫤they never responded when I tried to buy a new cradle.
I got alloy Kalloy handle bar installed 20 years ago on my road bike due to its light weight and cheap price. It still works well. Maybe because I am only 70 kg and don't stand pedaling much.

I just received the 2024 standard slick GK tyres in a 35mm width and those are the ones that have the brown side walls like their old tyres! Annoying, I was hoping for lighter-coloured sidewalls like the R-line tyres you have. The pictures on all websites are wrongly matched. Mine mounted with just a track pump though and without even having to remove the valve cores. 😂

@kemson4455 I can only assume it's some idiosyncrasy to do with my frame. I didn't even get close to 4nm. I tried two separate torque wrenches that seemed to read consistently to each other, and have read consistent to other parts installed since then. Seatpost clamp installed in the correct orientation too.

I have had one of these fail on me. Emergency braking at about 20kmph, back of the bike lifted ever so slightly, as I came down, it snapped. Im just under 85kg. Not saying it would happen to you, just that I don't trust these anymore. Maybe there was a fault, maybe due to the fact that I'm a heavier rider, maybe it was the specific circumstances. Just take note.

There's no budget alternatives that I know of (Admittedly I not in the market for one so could possible have missed one) But all the 3rd party ones are from boutique brands like Darimo or Alpitude etc. To be honest, judging by the comments and experience from other users on this video... an $20 elita one in proprietary shape sound like a proper lottery 😅

Am ambivalent about this one. Have had one on my trainer bike for hundreds of hours and it's been great. Ran one on my MTB for a race once and it failed three times on moderate terrain - rails rattled loose twice, and then finally the post itself snapped.
@slayerofgrams25 күн бұрын
You have to be pretty precise then mounting the saddle... my Darimo is the same... if the yokes are a tad bit off angle and then moves while riding it can rattle loose. After the first ride I always try to double check the bolts. The snapped seat post is harder to fix though 😅 Cheers for sharing your experience!

I have 27.2mm. I'm quite impressed with both the weight and strength. I chopped 70mm off (unnecessary weight) and tried crushing the loft over bit in my vice. It took some effort to crush it. It failed eventually, but there is no way you can generate similar force in the bike stand or the seat post clamp. Definitely the best ROI on my lightweight built.
